Every time I use the MS Access Immediate Window within the VBA Editor, Access crashes if I type any procedure name followed by the spacebar.
For example, I have a procedure called "CreateCEUploadFile" which takes a string parameter for a year. So, I'd like to type "CreateCEUploadFile "2019". However, as soon as I hit the spacebar after the e of File, Access freezes for a second, then crashes.
I initially thought this was specific to a database I've created. This is a database which was initially created 7 years ago, and has been worked on steadily over that time. So, I tried:
Compiling, then compacting and repairing. No change.
Decompiling the file. No change.
Re-compiling the file. No change
Creating a new database file, importing all objects. No change.
Restarting the PC. No change.
Removing Office (Office 365 Pro), restarting the PC, re-installing Office, re-starting the PC. No change.
I've now experimented, and discovered that the same issue occurs in all database files on this PC (a laptop that I've been using without issues for around 2 years). It also occurs with any call to any function (whether my own or built in), as soon as I hit a character after the function name.
In the immediate window:
? now --> works
? date --> works
? format( --> crashes as soon as I hit the spacebar`
I have now just discovered that this same issue occurs in MS Excel's VBA Immediate Window too...
Okay, so I've just found the solution.
Using the old principle of "What's changed since I last got this to work" I discovered that it seems to be a problem with my installation of Dextop.
I wanted to have a way of having multiple virtual desktops, and the built-in virtual desktops system in Windows 10 wouldn't cut it. Every time I do anything in SSMS on one desktop, it's reflected in the other.
So, I had a look around and found good reviews for Dextop. It seemed to work well - I have two different databases open in Access (one on each Desktop), and two different instances of SSMS, one pointing at each server. However, it seems to be this that was causing the Immediate Window to crash the relevant application.
Exit Dextop - all works well.
Restart Dextop - symptom immediately re-appears.
So now to try to find another alternative to Dextop....
Situation and Problem: We are working with Citrix + Windows Terminal Server 2012 R2 and we are experiencing that a single Internet Explorer (Version 11.0.96) process can use up to 60-80% of CPU-Power. Since there are 15 user working on one Server any given time, one or two users can disturb all the others by using all the available CPU-Power.
First (insufficient) Solution: To overcome this Problem, We changed the Internet Explorer shortcut from the users startmenue (tile-design menue): We are starting the Internet Explorer just with three cores (out of 6 core) with this command:
start /Affinity 7 iexplorer.exe
Problem: If the users start the Internet Explorer from a link (out of word, Outlook or wherever), the Internet Explorer is starting again with all six cores.
Question: Is there a way to start the iexplorer.exe process (Independent from the starting point) always with less cores, or is it possible to limit the CPU-usage for a specific process..?
That's just two possibilities I'm thinking about, if you have other solutions in mind, feel free :)
Thanks and greetings Kevin
Many reasons can cause this issue, Like due to issue in a update, due to homepage, due to add on.
So you need to check one by one that what thing cause this issue.
You can try steps below and check whether CPU consumption reduced or not.
(1) On the General Tab click Tabs button and unchecked the option "Show Previews for individual tabs in the task bar".
(2) Go to the "Advanced" tab in "Internet Options" and checked "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering".
(3) Temporarily disable all the add on and turn on them one by one and check the consumed memory every time. If if you find any add on consume high CPU then remove it from IE.
(4) Try to check whether issue caused by a faulty update.
You can also try to refer MSDN article below and if you are using that specific update then try to apply the hot fix may solve your issue.
Internet Explorer 11 consumes high memory and CPU cycles after you install update MS15-106
A large number of our clients operating a split front end/back end Microsoft Access application we built are encountering frequent but intermittent database file corruption issues. When the back end file is opened this message appears: "Microsoft Access has detected that this database is in an inconsistent state, and will attempt to recover the database … "
Opening the database with DAO using Visual Basic code results in error code 3343, "Unrecognized database format."
The repair attempt succeeds and we have not witnessed any data loss or dropping of primary keys, indexes, or relationships. Most cases involve where the back end file is located on a shared network drive. Some searches suggest that the latest Windows 10 update 1803 is suspect. Has anybody else encountered this?
It has recently been reported several times. A very thorough coverage of this issue can be found here.
Strangely, the cure can - at least for some cases - be found in old support threads:
Moved to Server 2012 getting Access Database Corruption
Cannot access shared files or folders on a drive in Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2
Comments:
It’s a bit strange though as the patch to fix the issue is back in May
2014 which is already installed on the server.
I can only think that
something in the latest Windows 10 Build 1803 has brought up the issue
again as it was PC’s that are running that build were causing the
problem.
The fix is adding the following entry into Vospers Server
2012 R2 registry:
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters
Value: DisableLeasing
Type: DWORD
Data: 0x1
We testing this on our server and the problem went away. As soon as we
changed the ‘Disable leasing’ value to ‘0’ again, the problem
returned.
I can’t find a reasonable explanation yet as to why this
has started to happen last week but if it works and doesn’t cause any
further issues elsewhere then I’m ok with that.
Also note that homegroups have been removed from Win10 1803. This may affect rights on shared folders.
I recently upgraded from 2005 to 2012 (about 10 months). When I first started using SSMS2012 it worked great was able to open multiple windows in a particular database. For about that last 2-3 months SSMS hangs when I try to open more than 1 query window or open a file. It is random but happens a majority of the time. I have been able to interrupt the hang a few times. When I interrupt it I get the login screen and it sits there trying to log in apparently unsuccessfully. If I cancel the login and try it again with the same entries it connects just fine and things are great, but I have to do this for every window and I cannot often break into that screen before it stops responding.
I have searched extensively and have not found an answer to this problem. It only appears to be happening to a particular instance. The instance does not show any signs of issues, has been rebooted and configuration checked for inconsistencies, etc. I am at a loss. If anyone has experienced this and has been able to resolve it I would appreciate a response.
Again this is a fresh install of 2012 standard with 2005 imported databases. All indications show that it is working fine. compatibility level for a majority of the databases are still 90, until I can clear them for 11 with the software they house. I have a test environment with the restored versions on a different server and no issues result from that instance - I can open up multiples without incident. My belief is it is something with that particular instance, but I am not sure where else to look.
Thank you in advance.
Some background: I've been encountering this memory exception within SSMS 2012 since it was released coupled with Red Gate's SQLPrompt (this exception never happens in my SSMS 2008R2 on the same laptop).
I was originally encountering these exceptions daily (SSMS2012 and SQLPrompt) which forces me to close and reopen SSMS (along with everything I was working on). Months ago I stumbled upon a support thread that pointed possible add-on's as being the cause so I uninstalled my only add-on (SQL Prompt, but did not uninstall the rest of the developer's bundle) and went many months without a single exception much less the System.OutOfMemoryException exception.
Once SP1 was released for 2012 I applied it and reinstalled SQL Prompt again (the latest version) to see if maybe the issue had been addressed and within 7 hours of development time I was greeted again with the infamous System.OutOfMemoryException.
Through out all of this I've been opening tickets with Red Gate and submitting debug logs where they see the exception but since the memory exception doesn't explicitly list SQLPrompt they won't escalate the issue to the development team. Prior to this specific exception SQL Prompt however is throwing numerous exceptions (some listed below) within the SSMS 2012 IDE (Visual Studio 2010). I believe that the memory exception is symptomatic of an issue with how SQL Prompt manages cached data and eats up the available memory for SSMS which eventually throws an exception as a result.
I've learn how to defer this issue and how to reproduce it and it is directly related to two variables:
Connecting and working on multiple instances in SSMS (Object Explorer and Query windows). I.e. Connected to 7 instances netted the exception within 2-3 hours.
Returning result sets from multiple instances. This includes queries used by SSMS to return information to the IDE and results returned to the individual query windows.
The more instances I'm connected to the fast the exception is raised which leads me SQL Prompt's caching all of the object information per instances. Once the memory exception is raised the situation degrades until SSMS crashes completely (unless I close it first).
What I am after is how to collect more/better information to submit to Red Gate to correct this issue. This is where I need your help.

Again, to be clear, I don't know if the other exceptions are related or not but the memory exception only happens with SQL Prompt installed.
Thanks for your assistance!
At this point RedGate has finally admitted the issue is that the SQL Prompt plug-in is working in-process with the 32-bit SSMS client and eventually chokes the memory resulting in the out-of-memory exception.
Their response to a fix for this would be "maybe" in a year or so which, when you are paying for annual support, is a slap in the face. I've since refused to pay for further support for 2 existing Tool-belt licenses over this issue, an issue that I have fought with since 2012, until they correct this. If this is affecting you then, and if you can, do the same and vote with your wallet to motivate them to make this fix a higher priority.
If and when that day comes I will update this answer post with the version information of the corrected build of SQL Prompt that no longer operates within the 32-bit memory space of SSMS.exe.
What works for me is Disabling Code suggestions in SQL prompt, then I can run the same query and then get the results.
I can then Enable Code suggestions in SQL prompt and the error stays away for a while.
Can you try limiting the number of columns as described in this post and see if it helps?
